Blush Response

BLUSH_RESPONSE is the sonic research apparatus of Cuban-American artist Joey Gonzalez, based in Berlin after being born in Miami. Built for pressure and endurance, the project is delivered through punishing live sets at venues such as Berghain, Tresor, and Khidi, and draws from Blush’s background as a solo artist and member of Joey Jordison’s Scar the Martyr and the industrial institution Front Line Assembly. A veteran sound designer, he has created and programmed instruments for Nord, Elektron, Yamaha, and Arturia, contributed to releases by Fear Factory and Cristian Castro, and collaborated with Richard Devine, Black Asteroid, Rhys Fulber, and Bon Harris of Nitzer Ebb. BLUSH_RESPONSE operates at the edge of control, using feedback, repetition, and mechanical force to produce uncompromising industrial techno released through labels including Artoffact Records, Aufnahme + Wiedergabe, Ant-Zen, Sonic Groove, and his own MEGASTRUCTURE.
